    Yeah I read his comment before yours where he rephrased his earlier statement to reflect what he was actually talking about. I wasn't taking a shot at him, just not feeding into the notion that one company is close to completing any sort of full S1 lineup. And technically the Insecticons origin story, confirmed in the script production bible notes plus Megatron actually says it in plague of insecticons, was that they were on Nemesis but jettisoned off the ship in an escape pod before it crashed.

    All good I hear ya, the insecticons episode appearance came out a day or 2 before new years and the last episode of that season so I feel the same way'ish on the 1.5 viewpoint. To throw another monkey wrench in the mix, depending on where you lived in the world at the time might screw it up even more, cuz in places like the UK the toys came out later, so Megatron was actually released over there in 85'.. But the best part is none of it matters as whatever makes collectors happy, in whatever canon they have in their minds is all that matters.

    Soon it was - just now snagged mine from HZJ. He has three left, no boxes, and he wasn't listing them at all this morning :)

    I think G1 Megatron would say "excellent." ;) 

    Now if this were a BW Megatron figure we were waiting on...

    If you really so like shiny, I'd say wait.

    I am sure I am going to wait, but its nice already having shiny DX9 and NA versions to tide me over.

    G1 Megs is just too awesome not to splurge on IMO. :)

    Probably means they've sold through the ones with the preorder bonus and any you buy now won't have it

    TCP just posted on Facebook that Brandon is taking his family on vacation for the next 10 days or so, someone is still shipping, but expect it to be a bit slower for the next couple of weeks which will affect this.

    I asked TCP a while back about the pre-order bonus. Got this response today.

    Excellent news and I do not have any additional. Can't wait to get him.
